NFL preseason is here and offensive lineman Jared Wilson is competing for a starting role. Wilson played center for the Georgia Bulldogs, but he has been getting first-team reps at left guard for the New England Patriots, according to ESPN.

"Third-round pick Jared Wilson once again aligned as the top left guard, with fourth-year veteran Ben Brown as the top center (with veteran Garrett Bradbury sidelined due to an ankle injury)," Mike Reiss wrote.

Jared Wilson's quick rise in the NFL is remarkable. Despite starting only 12 games at center for Georgia due to injury and playing behind Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, he declared for the 2025 NFL draft and was selected in the third round.
